Finz- I feel exactly how you do, I have Trigeminal Neuralgia and it took several years to be properly diagnosed and I had to go through the dr. looking at me like I was either mentally ill or lying to get drugs. I got to the point where I hated dr.s. I still feel that way most of the time, I think it is a real soul killer to be treated like that and it is hard to get over. I will never forget the helplessness and hopelessness I felt right before I was finally diagnosed.Right now I have been having a pretty severe bout of break-through pain that my neuro won't treat he told me to go to a PM Specialist, so I thought ok, well I had no idea how hard it would be to find one who would even see me. So I am at square one.
